1. Illustrator insanely not optimized

   It's unbelievable that I have a 2025 recent PC, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, 64Gb RAM DDR5 6200MHz, RTX 5070 Ti, M2 gen5 11500m/s and Illustrator 2026 is super slow, with a lot of lag when zooming in and out, the tools behavior also super slow. Honestly, the worst version so far.

2. Copy-pasting mesh between files results in rasterized image

   When copying and pasting a mesh from one file to another, it turns into a raster image. However, simply dragging and dropping the mesh object works fine

3. Spot Colors Won't Update In Linked Items

   Spot Colors are not immediately updating for linked items when adjusting the color values of the swatch. The change will only show after a few seconds, when the file is embedded, or when overprint preview is enabled. Previous versions of illustrator allowed spot colors to be updated for linked items immediately. Spot color adjustments only immediately affect objects that are embedded or built within the file.

   Using illustrator for color separations requires me to edit the appearance of spot white to be visible in different circumstances between film and art files.

4. Can't select all and use Outline Stroke directly, especially Clipping Mask items

   Can't select all to Outline Stroke directly, some clipping mask items will be missing, then need to adjust one by one, very inconvenient for printing FA
   By the way, i remember it works in previous version

5. Can't see any Artboards

   Every project I access opens, but I can't see any artboards. I have tried downgrading and uninstalling+reinstalling, to no effect.

6. unchecking "use document bleed settings" box in "Save Adobe PDF" does not remove the bleed from the saved file.

   version illustrator 30.1
   windows 11
   issue also replicated on illustrator 30.0 on a mac
   1: create new document with some amount of bleed in "document setup"
   2: save as .pdf will bring up "Save Adobe PDF" Dialog
   3: uncheck "use document bleed settings" box and save the .pdf
   4: open document saved in step 3, it still has the document bleeds that should have been removed by unchecking the "use document bleed settings" box

   the print dialog box also has the use document bleed settings check box, it works correctly when I print to a .pdf file with the "use document bleed settings" box unchecked

7. 文字が欠ける原因を知りたい

   Adobe イラストレーターからPDFに変換する場合、CubeとMicrosoft PDFでは正常に変換できますが、イラストレーターで「別名で保存する」でAdobe PDFを選んで変換すると、写真のように文字が欠けてしまいました。今までも長い間同じ方法でやっていたのですが、今回、こんな現象が現れました。対処の仕方を教えてください。

8. Illustrator crashes when triggering an action to flip an object horizontally or vertically.

   I think I’ve finally narrowed this down!
   I’ll cut to the chase:

   • macOS Sonoma 14.7.5
   • Illustrator v30.2.1

   • Custom Action #1: Transform Panel > Flip Horizontal
   • Custom Action #2: Transform Panel > Flip Vertical

   Triggering Actions #1 or #2 with the play button in the Actions Panel - or a hotkey linked to the action - is successful if:
   • The Transform Panel is open in a Panel and is the Active Tab
   • The Transform Panel is completely closed (triggering the actions then open the Panel floating somewhere in the workspace)

   Triggering Actions #1 or #2 with instantly cause Illustrator (30.2.1) to CRASH if:

   • The Transform Panel is present in a Panel in the workspace, but is not the Active Tab

   Whew!
   That’s a load of frustration off my mind!

   My Fix: I now just keep the Transform Window open in its own small Panel all the time. I never use it anyways, and would prefer to just keep it closed, but it’s annoying to have it pop up every time I flip an object, so keeping it stuffed quietly in the corner is the next best thing.

   ---

   Additional info in response to a query on the Adobe Community forum:

   It has been plaguing me on multiple versions of Illustrator after I upgraded from v29 I believe.

   The crash happens on any and all objects in any file if I follow the steps outlined in my OP.

   I’ve got a weird vertical mouse with extra hotkeys - two of which I use to trigger those actions - thought maybe the mouse was causing it after macOS upgrade, but then I got the same crash when clicking the play button in the Actions panel.

   Full System restarts would seem to occasionally fix the problem for a while, then it all of a sudden it would crash again, and then reliably on every reboot of Illustrator after that. Now I think that after the system restarts, my Transform Panel would just happen to be the active tab, so no crashes until I inadvertently used another tab in the same Panel, then tried to Flip again.

   ---

   The upload option will not seem to allow me to select my .aia actions file for upload.

   I think I’ve finally narrowed this down!

9. aiファイルをInDesignに配置した際に画像が透明になる

   Illustrator 30.2.1で保存したaiファイルをInDesign2026に配置すると、ai内にリンクされた画像ファイルが透明になります。30.1に戻したところ、直りました。
   ただし、30.1でも、InDesign2026配置時に、ai内にリンクされた画像ファイルの位置がずれることがあります。こちらは毎回ではありません。ずれる場合の法則は分かりませんが、モノクロ2階調画像のずれる率が高いようです。

10. “Split Into Grid” creates a single live grid object now instead of independent paths and it's awful.

    Recent versions of Illustrator changed “Split Into Grid” to create a single live grid object instead of independent paths. This completely breaks established illustration, print, and production workflows (stickers, dielines, laser cutting, icon sheets).

    Please restore the previous behavior or add a preference/checkbox to output individual paths by default. Illustrator is an illustration tool, not a layout app.

15. Text object becomes corrupted and cannot apply gradient or appearance

    Illustrator on Windows 11 sometimes turns normal point text into a broken area text object.
    When this happens:
    - “Convert to Point Type” does not appear
    - The text behaves like a text box even though it was created as point text
    - The Appearance panel cannot add a new fill (button is greyed out)
    - Applying a gradient turns the text completely black
    - Copy/paste keeps the corrupted state unless pasted as plain text

    This issue forces me to recreate text manually and interrupts my workflow.
    Please investigate the cause of corrupted text objects on Windows 11.

16. Unable to open old ai or pdf files

    Mac OS Tahoe, Ai version 30.1. <-- just updated 12/22/25
    I cannot open complete, editable Ai or PDF files created in older previous Ai versions. A message appears that Illustrator could only partially read the file. If I continue it creates a file that cannot be edited. Opening and editing files is CRITICAL to our print shop business.

17. Fonts change after reopening Illustrator file

    I created a mailer in Illustrator with around 10–12 artboards and exported everything perfectly with the correct fonts. When I reopened the same file after two days to make changes, all the fonts had changed automatically, some text had disappeared, and the layout no longer matched my earlier exported JPGs. The fonts were installed and displaying correctly at the time of the first export, so the issue only appeared after reopening the saved file. I’ve attached the before/after GIF to show the difference.

19. 2026 Illustrator UI Bugs EVERYWHERE!!!!!

    Seriously, do you guys even use your own products? These issues are not buried, they are very apparent. Take a look at the attached screenshots. Gradients have been broken for a while now.

    Also, this new version is full of bugs. I have to restart Illustrator immediately after opening for the bounding box to work, half the time adobe fonts are broken and wont sync.

    Windows 11, i9, 4080 super, 64gb ram, 2gb download speed... I have all the things you need for a fast and efficient workflow, but Adobe's legacy code mixed with all the new bugs from the new MVP features you push out without proper testing make it impossible to take advantage of any of my hardware.

    It's shocking how quickly Illustrator becomes bogged down when working in large scale or with complex layer systems. You need to get with the times and start doing multicore processing.

    Is there ever going to be a plan to rebuild this dinosaur or are you planning on us still using single core processing in 2030? The dead cow has been milked dry, with other options slowly becoming available, your complacency and focus on AI will be your downfall.

    DO BETTER.

20. File links breaking

    Lately I am having problems with linked files in Illustrator not showing up when I open the file in Photoshop for instance, even though everything looks fine in Illustrator in the original file. I have to go into the Links menu and relink everything one at a time and resave to make it work. I also notice that the file size is smaller when the linked files don't work.

    I tend to use linked files a lot and have for years so this isn't a case of unfamiliarity with the tool.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Windows 11
    Illustrator 30.2.1
